When I play split screen with my friends we always play on miniscule health, and it's how I enjoy playing. I don't have PSN yet but when I get it I will, of course, be playing MW2. Do people online prefer normal or miniscule health?

Only on hardcore... its not an option

You wont have any trouble getting into hardcore matches, they usually have plenty of people playing.

minuscule, I dont like unloading an entire clip into someone and they turn around and blast me with a shotgun.

mini molecules 

I do prefer a good Hardcore match.

Hardcore has actually grown on me a lot. Playing as a sniper on normal is stupid as hell, how can someone survive a direct shot to the mid section and still run around?

Hardcore is the way to go. Although i wish they had kill-cam sometimes so i know where that damned camper is hiding! >_>

Its like playing License to Kill on Goldeneye.  That made the game so much better.

I prefer to stream my hardcore.
